I accidentally deleted my Dropbox account while trying to leave the Dropbox team. Can I restore it?

Question

so months ago, about October-ish, I was trying out the team upgrade but then decided to downgrade to a personal account but I accidentally deleted my account and lost my life for and I was wondering if I could recoup my files? I had to re-open dropbox with the same email I signed up with but all of my files were gone, please help

If the account was deleted and you've created a new account with the same email, there would be no way to recover the files. Once an account has been deleted, the files it contained are gone.
